(Danielle's p.o.v:)
I start my story off like this...
"Well when I was around the age of four or five, my dad left. He left me and my mom for some slag down in Los Vegas. And to be honest it hurt my mom so bad that she almost gave me up for adoption, just so that she could drown herself in sorrow and alcohol. I remember very vaguely the time that we went to the grocery store, and when we go there my dad called my mom and told her that he got divorce papers and that they were done. And it's been me and my mom since then. And now she's with Brett. But that experience with my mom and dad has left me broken, damaged, and mentally scarred. I have nightmares thinking about all of the things he said to my mom."
"Damn. Dani you've been through hell!!"
"Well I wouldn't say total and udder hell, because there are people who have had it way worse than me. It's such an embarrassing story."
"If you think for a second that we're going to think of you any different because of your family life, you're wrong."
I smile and open my arms. Luke and the other three practically jump into my arms and I laugh. My mom calls is in for dinner and the boys practically run into the dining room. I take my time and when I walk into the dining room I see an open chair beside Luke. I walk over and sit down. Calum looks at me and I make a funny face. He laughs and Luke kicks me in the shin.
"What!?"
"Don't even try to be friends with him."
"You are-"
"I'm kidding!!"
I stick my tongue out at him and stab my fork into a piece of chicken. Luke takes a sip of his water and my mom says...
"Okay. Dani, and the others?"
"Sup mom?"
"Brett and I have some big news."
"Ooh!! What is it!?"
"We're getting married!!!!!"
I jump up and run over to my mom. I throws hands around her neck and squeal. Brett joins in on the hug and I smile. I hear the boys giggling and squealing. I turn around and Luke is spinning in circles. I run over to the boys and hug them. Later on that night as I'm laying on my bed I hear crying. I quietly get up and follow the sound. As I get closer to the room Luke is staying in, the sobbing sound intensifies. I silently open the door and see Luke sitting up in his bed. The door creaks and I fall to the ground, and I'm hoping and praying he doesn't see me.
"Dani? You know I can see you, right?"
"Well shit fire."
"What are doing?"
"Well I heard you crying, and, I-i wanted to make sure that you were okay."
"Well aren't you sweet."
"Why were you crying anyway?"
"I don't know. I've just been under a lot of stress."
"I can tell that there's something else is wrong, but I won't push it."
"My girlfriend broke up with me."
"Oh! Oh my goodness!! I'm so sorry."
"It's okay-"
"No it isn't I shouldn't have pushed you like that. God what type of person am I, dear lord please-"
"Would you shut up and come cuddle with me! Please?"
I nod and run over to him. He smiles at me and pulls me closer to him. That night was the first night I didn't wake up because of a nightmare. It was almost as if I felt protected by Luke.
The next morning I wake up to Luke's loud ass singing. I sit up in bed and walk to my room to check my phone. As I walk back into Luke's room, I hear Luke start to sing "Shower" by Becky G. I unlock my phone and go to Instagram. I can't help but laugh as I start to video him singing. I stop videoing and caption the picture. The caption says "Dancing in the mirror, singing on the shower!!😂😂😂." I bust out laughing and walk downstairs. As I round the corner leading into the kitchen, I pancake comes flying out of the kitchen. I walk into the kitchen to see Ashton, Calum, and Mikey with beet red faces.
"What the hell is going on here!?"
"Michael started it Dani!!!" Ashton whines.
"Did not ass wipe!!!"
"Boys!!!! SHUT UP!"
Calum jumps in his seat and I laugh. I walk over to the cabinets and grab five cups, seeing as my mom and Brett went out. I pull out five plates, and five sets of silverware and place them neatly on the table. I hear feet coming down the hall and I turn to see Luke bobbing his head to some song he's humming. I look at him and he glares at me. I roll my eyes and walk over to the table. Ashton has set a huge plate of pancakes, bacon, and sausage. I sit down and wait patiently for the boys to come sit down. But after a couple minutes of waiting I get tired. I pile three pancakes on my plate and drench them in syrup. Ashton walks I. With a pout on his face.
"What's up with you Ash?"
"You didn't wait on me!!"
"Awe!! I'm sorry, but you better sit down before the other three come in and eat everything."
"Okay. By the way Dani, I just wanted to say. I get what you're going through with the whole dad thing. My dad walked out on my mom, me, Lauren, and Harry. So I understand, and if you ever need someone to talks to, I'm here!"
I smile and get up. I run over to Ashton and hug him. The other three come into the kitchen ad sit at the table. As I go to take another bite of my pancakes, I see a hand snatch my fork out of my grip. I look up to see Luke with my fork in his mouth. I snatch my fork and slap his shoulder.
"The next time you touch my food or my fork, I'm gonna bite the shit outta you!"
"Ooh you don't scare me!!"
He reaches for my fork again and I lean forward and bite him. He yanks his hand away from my mouth and squeals. I look around to see Michael, Calum, and Ashton all laughing. Luke rolls his eyes and continues eating...
